What special event took place on your birthday? Do you share a birthday with a celebrity? Did some natural disaster happen on your birthday?

My birthday is better than your birthday because...
- Chile celebrates their Independance Day that day. ;D
- I have the same birthday as Lance Armstrong
- Jimi Hedrix died on my birthday
- Tiffany & Co. was founded
- George Washington laid the first cornerstone in the capital building in D.C.

And, yes, you have to reply in the "My birthday is better than yours because..." form.

Note: It doesn't have to be the same year as you were born, just the same day. And it has to be something that will be the same every year, like mine, not something like "My birthday is better than yours because it was on a Sunday".

An easy way to find out events that happened is to go to wikipedia.com and search your birthday.

- The Lumière brothers have their first paying audience at the Grand Cafe in Boulevard des Capucines marking the debut of the cinema.
- The Congress of the United States officially recognizes the Pledge of Allegiance.

But these things all happened decades and decades before I was born... XD But still, on December 28th! :3

Also~

- Three days after Christmas! ?
- Denzel Washington was born on my birthday. ^-^

Edit: Forgot some stuff! XD

- Third day of Christmas (in Western Christianity).
- Princess Elizabeth of England was born.
- Proclamation Day in South Australia. :3

My birthday is better than yours because
-2 popes and a Japanese emperor died on my birthday
-I share a birthday with Brenda Song
-It's the same day as my grandparent's wedding anniversary
-It's the anniversary of moving into my house, 14 years this year and counting
-It's the 267th day of the year (268th in leap years)
-That day 100 years before I was born, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints officially renounces polygamy.
o wait. That kinda sucks.. CURSES!..
